Application filed February 5, 1913. Serial nav eass.

tion of parts constituting a faucet particularly applicable to canscontaining oils, alcohol, turpentine, etc.

In the accompanying drawing; Figure l is a partial top view of a canequipped with the nvention: Fig. 2, a section on the line A, B, of Fig.1: Fig. 3, a section on the line E, F, of Fig. 2: and Fig. 4, a sectionon the line C, D, of Fig. 2. t

1 indicates the wall of an ordinary can which, as shown, may be taken tobe the cover or upper wall. also considered as a bottom or side wall.

In it is an opening .into which is inserteda cup-shaped portion 2 havinga surrounding flange 3 that overlies the outer face of the wall of thecan, bears thereupon, and may be soldered thereto as indicated at 4. Thecountersunk ortion 2 has extending from one of its si e walls a hollowtapered horizontal valve seat portion 5 closed except for a. port orport-s openin into the interior of the can. Two suc ports are shown,one, 6, through which contents of the can may pass and another, 7, towhich is connected a vent pipe 8. The tapered or conical member 5'contains a lining or packing 9 having openings through it coincidentwith the ports 6, 7; and within it is seated a rotatable hollow conicalvalve plug 10 having in it a port 11 adapted to registerwith the port 6.The top of the valve plug is formed with a tubular extension 12 to whichis secured a faucet 13; and the valve plug, closely and properlyls5eatedhwlizhiillli It}:

the upper or mner edge of the shell 5 upon the top of an mt-erposedspring washer 17 hearing on the valve plug 10.

In the wall of the plug lengthwise-thereof is a depression or channel14s with which the vent pipe 8 is, of course, mcommumca- It may,however, be

tion and which at the inner or head end of the shell 5 communicates withthe annular space formed by the turned over flange 16 and spring washer17, which latter has apertures 15 opening to the well that is formed inthe closure plate 2, 3. The relation of parts is such that, when theswinging portion is rearwardly within the well, the vent is closed tothe atmosphere; but, when drawn out for pouring, as in the open well isin communication with the vent pipe, and, in the latter position, the

ports 6 and 11 coincide so that contents of the can may be pouredthrough the faucet.

The spout in turning moves in a direction at an angle (preferably at aright angle as shown) to the direction in which contents of the vesselare poured and consequently Fig. 4,,

is held rigidly against strains in the opposite direction. This is afeature of value since when a can is raised and turned to pour the spoutis apt to bear upon the rim of the receiving vessel. To remove any fluidthat will not pass out through the spout the can may be punctured.

All the parts of this device may be made of sheet metal, such as commontin, from appropriate dies and but little, if any, soldering isrequired. The closure plate 2, 3, the valve parts and the faucet may allbe completed and assembled at very small cost and applied to a wall ofa. can, or other vessel, in the manner described.

I claim:

1. A can closure adapted to be mounted in a wall of a can and comprisinga. countersunk well, a projection laterally therefrom constituting avalve member, a valve plug turning therein and a spout carried by the toswing outward to pouring position'in a direction at an angle to the linein which contents of the can are discharged.

2. A can closure ada ted to be mounted in a wall of a can and cimprising a countersunk well, a hollow tapered valvemember extendingfrom a wall of the well and having therein two ports, a vent pipeconnected to one of said ports; a-hollow tapered valve plug fitting andturning in said valve member and having in its wall an external tion ina direction at an angle to the line in channel openin to the well andalso a port which contents of the can are discharged. 10

adaptedflto register with the other port in said valve member, and aouring spout secured to and communicating with its interior, said spoutbeing depressed within the well when in non-pouring position and adaptedto swing outward to pouring posi- In testimony whereof, I have hereuntosubscribed my name.
